Abstract: 29,358. Lynch, A. R. Dec. 30. Cultivators and hoes. - A motor-driven machine for pulverizing soil, earthing-up plants, &c. comprises trailing frames adapted to carry inclined and d interchangeable fixed frames and rotary drums of special construction. The main wheels 2, Fig. 1, are driven from the motor 4 by the disconnectible chain gearing shown, the main shaft 5 being provided with a fly-wheel 6. The rotary drums 20 are inclined and rotate in a direction contrary to that of the wheels. They are driven from a countershaft 8 by disconnectible bevel-gearing and jointed shafts 19. The drums are mounted in frames detachably bolted to the trailing V- shaped frames 23, which are jointed so that the drums may be lifted or moved laterally by means of handles 25 near the seat 26. The front wheels 3 are steered by means of a lever 28, rods 29, 3D, and bell-cranks 31. Each drum comprises two thin shells 32, Fig. 4, bolted to flanged semicircular end-plates 33 which are bolted together and adapted to fit on squared parts of the supporting shaft. The shanks of the blades 22 pass through the shells and through inner strengthening-rings 38 or coiled lengths of metal, which are U-shaped in crosssection. They are provided with bosses 42 and locking-nuts 43 and may fit into square holes in the drum. The blades are of the shape shown in Fig. 6 and have at least one sharp edge. Fig. 6 also shows one of the fixed frames 47 which may be substituted for the drums. The tool shanks 41 are passed through bars 48, 49.

Inventor: MCKECHNIE JAMES
IPC: F02M59/00
Filed: 1912-10-22
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 24,153. McKechnie, J. Oct. 22. Securing rapid ejection of liquid; valve-gear.- The fuel is injected into the cylinders of an internal-combustion engine by the direct action of a pump B, which pumps a large excess of fuel, the high injection pressure being attained gradually by mechanically operating the suction valve C or otherwise to exercise a choking effect. The relief valve E is set to open at a predetermined pressure, and the delivery valve F, which also acts as the injection valve, regulates the amount of fuel delivered. In the form shown in Fig. 1, which relates to single-cylinder engines, the injection valve is contained in the same casing as the pump &c. but in other forms it is detached. The timing- apparatus for the injection valve, of which several forms are described, is shown in Fig. 1 as a sliding cam f, but it may comprise a lever mechanism operated by a fixed cam, the lever having a movable fulcrum. The valve F may have an extension passing through a gland to the atmosphere so that it does not open against the pressure.

Abstract: 25,845. Hughes, T., Ruthenburg, M., and Davis, G. K. Nov. 11. Tar, distilling. - Apparatus for the progressive distillation of tar &c. comprises a series of stills each consisting of an inner heated vessel B and an outer vessel A forming a jacket to the inner vessel. In one arrangement, the tar is supplied to the outer vessel A by a pipe E'. and, overflowing the top edge of the 'inner vessel B, fills it, the undistilled tar flowing away by a pipe F to the next still in the series. In another arrangement, the tar flows through the inner vessels in series and then returns through the outer vessels of the stills, giving up its heat gradually. The tar leaves the plant by way of a column having an exit at such a height as to control the level in the stills. The inner vessel B is heated by an electric heater C, by flues passing through it, or otherwise. The residue is passed through a preheater, which may be of a film type and provided with a condenser for any vapours generated from the crude tar.
